About this listen

A bestselling gripping thriller from the author of Our House, full of characters you'll love to hate and twists you'll never see coming!

'Riveting' THE TIMES

‘A stylish, sun-soaked thriller… Our Holiday is destined to be THE summer read’ Janice Hallett

'The perfect summer thriller' T.M. Logan

‘Brilliant and current…Louise Candlish at her best, a perfect read for the summer' B A Paris

A Richard and Judy Book Club Pick: 'We both loved this sizzling summer scorcher of a book'

Charlotte and Perry long for summers at Cliff View, their gorgeous holiday home overlooking the turquoise waters of Pine Ridge. And now that city friends Amy and Linus have bought a property nearby, they plan lazy weeks of sun, sea and sipping rosé on Charlotte’s summerhouse veranda.

But there’s trouble in paradise…

A rising tide of resentment towards second-home owners is heading their way and small acts of criminal damage are escalating into something more menacing. By the end of the summer, families and friendships will be torn apart and Pine Ridge will be known for more than its sun-drenched beaches.

It will be known for murder…

Ok.

It was a great book. I'm going to read more Candlish novels. And it was very well narrated. Pure delight.

really good storytelling

Really enjoyed this and the narration was very good. However, the ending was really weak and disappointing.

Great read, awful ending

Although I really enjoyed this, I didn’t find it as good as Our House by the same author, that was an absolute corker, and was adapted for TV. I felt maybe it went on for too long, but still had some very clever twists and turns that she really excels at and her observations of our class system is spot on, ending was a little disappointing. Narration was very good, especially loved Kenton from The archers doing Perry brilliantly.

Definitely worth a listen

Loved the characters and the web of lives - awesome depth and very interesting subjects that can be seen from at least 2 sides

Gripping

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I persevered but only because I'd paid for the book. I thought the narration was good but I just couldn't get into the story. I couldn't get a mental image of the place or characters at all. it was a shame because I've loved her other books.

Disappointing compared to other Candlish books

Lots of characters so concentration needed, the author spent time with each so you knew these people, liked, disliked, metaphorically shouted at them. Twists and turns. You know it’s a good book when you just want alone time so you can listen in peace and savour. I have enjoyed books from this author previously and highly recommend this title.

Brilliant writing, clever,sophisticated and humorous.

Surprisingly weird ending just Strachan’s unexpected. Highly recommended read though. Most enjoyable so will you!

Great story but…

Seemed never ending. Got two thirds of the way through waiting for something to happen then decided I didn't really care. None of the characters had any depth snd the story as far as I read was bland. Shame I normally really like Louise Candlish not sure what happened here not a patch on her previous books

Tedious

Kept me hooked into listening until the end, but just pretty basic .
Will forget immediately

So basic
